Not sure the one I found is gonna work out.

But had I done what your contractor did, and you refused to pay, I'd simply tear the work out verses not getting paid for it.

Somedays it just don't workout... it ain't sold till it's been recorded!

@Stephanie Knox how did Drexel Hill work out?

Here are how my numbers workout: I am loosing $1,800 a month in rent, and assume about $800 in legal fees.

Right now i'm going to check out my prospects in Sacramento since it's very close to where I currently live, but if that doesn't work out i'll check out Fresno and will definitely reach out!

Even a simple cosmetic clean up would add to your purchase price So yo should work out the result of some of the formulas given here on BiggerPockets for determining your what your maximum offer should be.

Whatever you work out, always start from the premise that the investor is going to be offering whatever is best for them, so I wouldn't worry too much about "giving" them anything. 

In case anyone was interested, i found a template for Excel here  http://download.cnet.com/Amortization-Schedule-for...and for numbers here https://jmoore.me/2013/10/31/a-loan-amortization-w...I ran across a couple of programs for around $100-150, not sure what they entail but the free ones seem to work out great so far

If wholesaling doesn't work out then my plan is still to ferret away money some other way a little at a time until I have a nice down payment saved up for a rental property.
